Adena hits 100th robotic surgery mark

Adena Medical Center has reached a milestone in its robotic surgery program.

Since Oct. 17, Adena surgeons have performed more than 100 robotic surgeries. No. 100 came this past week when general surgeon Dr. Bill Sever performed a gallbladder removal on a 46-year-old woman.

In the five months since the first procedure, the number of physicians performing surgery with the da Vinci robotic surgery system has increased from three to seven. Industry experts with Intuitive Surgical, a global leader in robotic-assisted surgery, recently praised Adena's program as one of the top performing programs in Ohio.

Robotic surgery is designed to be more precise and minimally invasive for patients.
